The cargo shorts pull on over a tee for the weekend, the drawstring cinched and the pockets already loaded.

These are loose, roomy summer shorts with pockets everywhere you look. Slant hand pockets at the front, flap pockets at the back, and a cargo flap pocket down each leg give somewhere for a phone, keys and a wallet without a bag. The cut is straight and easy, sitting around the knee.

The fabric is a lightweight 90 percent polyester that stays cool through a hot day. The waist is part elasticated across the back with a drawstring at the front and a button fly, so the fit gives and adjusts rather than digging in. They come in khaki, black, gray and green, across sizes M to 4XL.

Why It Works

Cargo shorts earn their place on the pockets, and these carry six of them, so a phone, keys and a wallet all have a home. The part elasticated waist with its drawstring means one size gives across a range of fits rather than sitting on a single fixed measurement, and the lightweight polyester keeps the whole thing cool and quick to dry after a wash.
